Solar Intermediate Miner

What this ship may lack in aesthetics on the outside, it makes up for it with functionality on the inside. My wife says it almost looks like the home plate on a baseball field. This ship might as well be called "Home Base" because that's basically what it is. This ship has some bells and whistles that anyone can appreciate once you've spent some time mining in the Solar Basic Miner. It's a home run as far as I'm concerned when it comes to solo focused deep space survival.

With a top speed of 313m/s it's deffinately no slouch. It's uses the most power efficient thrusters to keep the power where you need it, in the batteries. It doesn't charge at full thrust like the Solar Starter Ship, but what it can do is charge the batteries at warp 4 with full shields! If you are comfortable turning the sheilds down from 5,000 to 1,000, you can charge your batteries while doing up to warp 7. Talk about efficiency! You can literally hop into this thing and start mining with 0 down time waiting for batteries to charge.

The two extracors and refinery are placed in a way that is easy and efficient to use as a solo player. It has a cargo teleporter that is easy to access so you can transfer your cargo to your vault or turn in mission items easy peasy. There are 16 cargo pads for all your fat loot with room to add more if you so desire. There are two Dispoasal units on either side of the ship to drop drones or get rid of your trash. With 5 large and 4 small Sensor Arrays you'll never be left guessing what rare ore an astrofield contains or valuable loot a station has for the taking.

There are 6 front mounted weapons grouped near the cockpit so you can easily get rounds on target to defend yourself from skrill. After blowing the skrill from the sky using your 2400 ammo capacity via 2 ammo loaders, there are 3 salvagers to pick up the meat (which sells for quite a few units at some trade stations), or you can use the 3D Printer to make you some Med Kits. Don't forget to use those salvagers to pick up your drones.

This ship includes an Assembler, a Data Core Terminal, and plenty of storage for all your weapons, ammo, cartridges, and chipsets. The two hacking terminals will allow you to hack a firewall and defend your own firewall simultaneously! If you run out of chipsets then you can simply print more at the 3D printer. The data core is used in conjunction with cartridges to provide some pretty sweet benefits to things like combat, thrusters, shields and mining. There is also enough room to add expansion bays for even more cartridges if so desired.

If all that wasn't enough then you'll really love this ship when I tell you that it has it's own Rift Generator. No more will you have to rely on a rift station to move from system to system. Simply put in some rift fuel that you are able to create without even leaving your ship and rift off to any system that you desire. The ships moderate weight will keep the rifts fairly cheap so you can head out in search of the rarer resources.

There isn't much that this ship can't do. I hope you like it.

If you like this ship or any of my other 100% Solar ships please give it a thumbs up, favorite, and leave a comment. Don't forget to follow me so you will be notified when I come out with more ships for the Solar Fleet Collection. I'm always open to suggestions on how I can better my ships so please don't be shy.
